The kids and I just came home from seeing the new Muppet movie. Can you say Best Movie Ever? I can. It was a blast! I was laughing out loud all over the place. It was funny, it was sweet, it was touching, there were in jokes all over the place. I loved it and the kids loved it to.

What I didn’t love was the 25 minutes of commercials AMC subjected us to, followed by six previews.

Can I say that while watching the Bruins game on NBC we just saw a Best Buy commercial where a mom upstaged Santa Claus and then gave him all sorts of shit. Really Best Buy? You really just bad mouthed Santa Claus? Well how about I bad mouth you by not doing any of my Christmas shopping at any of your stores? Yeah, that sounds fair to me. My wife is on this wagon too, and I’m sure we won’t be the only ones.

Finally. The library on my MacBook has been uploaded, and the library on my desktop has also been uploaded as well. The crash seems to have been caused by a corrupt Charlie Parker file. I also had four files (out of 25,000) that errored out for some reason. I don’t know what the problem was.

Everything works from my iPad and my iPhone. All of my playlists uploaded so I don’t have to rebuild them the way I would have had to for Google Music. The only downside is that it does not stream the audio, it downloads it. So now I have a playlist full downloaded songs. That also means that unless it works as a cache and will overwrite itself then I’m going to run out of memory at some point. That seems a touch silly to me. Doesn’t it?

If you enjoyed your Thanksgiving celebration as much as I did then you seriously enjoyed your Thanksgiving celebration.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there, where applicable.

We are hosting dinner today.  The turkey is GIGANTIC and it’s in the oven cooking away.

I am going to throw out a math question, with maybe a little computer logic too.

Earlier today Jen asked me, should she make n packages of stuffing?  I replied yes, but with the following logic:

if(number.of.packets.in.the.house == 4)
     cook.four.packets = TRUE;
if(number.of.packets.in.the.house >> 4)
     cook.more.than.four.packets = TRUE;

In other words, Cook ’em All, Babie!

Stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving dinner!  WOOHOO!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hey, do you know how the Bruins made out against Buffalo tonight? They were chasing win #10 in a row and looking to hold onto their Northeast division lead.

Yeah, I know.

They won again. Ten straight after losing seven of their first 10 games to open the season. From worst to first in less than one month. How are they playing right now? Like Stanley Cup champions, that’s how they’re playing right now.

It was so bad at the start of the year that I couldn’t bear to watch. Now? I’m hanging on every play.

Go Bruins!

I just used the term, “Grammar Nazi” while dining in a German restaurant.

Bad, bad form.

I’m waiting for them to chuck me out.

The holiday weekend has arrived a day early this year. I took today off in exchange for that long on call stretch a couple of weeks ago. I’m off Friday too as that is a company holiday.

So this is a five day weekend. I call it glorious. Of course the weather is not cooperating. It’s pouring outside. Today I’ll try to get my hair cut, get the kids at school when their half day is done, and help my beautiful bride with Thanksgiving preparations.

It’s going to be a busy first couple of days off, but by Friday I am hoping we will sleep all day!

Gobble, Gobble!

It finally finished without crashing. To bad it left 3814 songs in “waiting” status. At least now I can right click and get the Add to iCloud function.

Hey iTunes Match! Get with the uploading already!

I am a big enough man to admit that I was wrong.  I was totally out of line and off base.

Yesterday I said that we should not expect MVP caliber numbers from Sidney Crosby in his first game back after almost a year recovering from a concussion.  I said it might take a few games before he is back to his NHL dominating self.

I was 100% wrong. 

He was a hit post away from an assist on his first shift.  Obviously that pissed him off royally because he scored a sick goal on his second shift.  He finished the game with two goals and two assists in a 5-0 win.  Yeah, he was so rusty that he contributed to 80% of his teams goals on the night.  Granted, he was playing the Islanders who are not what you would call a championship caliber team, but it did sort of look like he had never gone away, didn’t it?

I didn’t watch much of the game last night as I was focused on the Bruins 1-0 win over the Canadiens.  You know, the Bruins ninth consecutive victory.  The win that officially moved them from last place to first place in the Northeast division, and from 15th to 3rd in the Eastern conference.  That game.  Still though, I flipped over a few times and watched the Crosby comeback.  It was scary.  Now the rest of the league has to deal with a Penguins team that was already steam rolling everyone and just got better by adding the best player in the world.  Oh crap.
